Legs, chest, or full-body sessions. Big muscle groups tend to steal the spotlight in most workout plans. And that often means key muscles like your latissimus dorsi (known as lats) don’t always get the attention they deserve.<\/strong> These large, wing-shaped muscles span the sides of your back and play a huge role in posture, pulling power, and upper-body strength.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 20-minute lat workout<\/strong> for strength<\/strong> is designed to fix that. It consists of 4 exercises<\/strong>, performed for 8 to 12 reps<\/strong> across 3 sets<\/strong>, with 1-minute rest between exercises and rounds<\/strong>. It combines vertical and horizontal pulling movements to challenge your lats from different angles, finishing with unilateral work to help improve strength and symmetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
